My Comment: Oh oh .... this tells me that more dirt and controversy is about to be leaked out on the Bergdahl - Taliban prisoner swap deal .... and this is the White House's way of insulating itself from any blow-back or controversy. My guess is that we are going to find out that cash was exchanged for Bowe Bergdahl's release as well as other arrangements/agreements being made. So much for the buck stopping at President Obama's desk.

This just in!
White House administration handed over a dozen F35's to the Taliban! Including Sam battery's and a cache of weapons including one Abrahms battle tank!
All this comes in as revelations are revealed that show Bergdahl is a distant cousin to Obama!
Geee .... and I thought I was sarcastic.
